Discover Nearly 100 Gardens Across Buffalo Niagara This July

Buffalo, NY– This summer, escape into the beauty of Buffalo Niagara’s most remarkable private gardens during Open Gardens, returning Thursdays and Fridays in July. Nearly 100 gardens will be open to the public on select times, offering a serene, uncrowded, and inspiring garden experience across the region.

Open Gardens Days for 2025:



  • Thursday & Friday, July 10 & 11

  • Thursday & Friday, July 17 & 18

  • Thursday & Friday, July 24 & 25

These gardens are found in neighborhood clusters and are organized by the hours they are open. Spanning across both urban and rural communities, locations include: Lockport, Gasport, Grand Island, Akron, East Aurora, Elma, Holland, South Buffalo, West Seneca, Lackawanna, Lakeshore, Eden, Hamburg, Orchard Park, Amherst, Cheektowaga, East Amherst, Williamsville, Kenmore, North Tonawanda, Tonawanda, Lancaster, and Buffalo’s Parkside, Allentown, Cottage District, Elmwood Village, and Delaware District neighborhoods.

Visitors are invited to explore at their own pace, meet the gardeners, and enjoy landscapes rich with creativity, color, and care. Look for the Open Gardens sign at each location—if a sign isn’t displayed, the garden may be unexpectedly closed. Please do not enter gardens without signage.
